Tar chemoreceptor tagged with GFP
Usage and Biology
E.coli native chemoreceptors cluster in the cell poles. This property is critical for signal amplification and adaptation of the cell. Although little is known about the mechanism of localization, it is important to preserve this property with our designed receptors in order to keep a functional and sensitive chemotaxis response (1).
GFP labeling is a very common way to examine the migration and localization of certain proteins in vivo. Fusion of GFP to Tar chemoreceptor enabled us to track the migration and localization of the protein to the cell poles as expected. This part is a composed from three iGEM registry BioBricks.
Design considerations
The fusion between the Tar protein and the GFP was conducted using a flexible 3XGS linker (BBa_J18921). Tar sequence was amplified from BBa_K777000, using reverse transcription PCR the stop codon in the C - terminus (tga) was replaced with Gly codon (gga) and the rest of the linker sequence was added (Fig. 1). The GFP sequence was amplified from BBa_E0040 and the linker sequence was added to the N - terminus of the protein using the same method. The two PCR products were then fused using Gibson assembly.
Experiments and results
The fused Tar-GFP protein was cloned to our expression systems (BBa_K1992008 and BBa_K1992009) in order to examine the migration of the receptor. By using fluorescence microscopy, it can be seen in figure 2, that the receptor is clustered in the poles of the bacteria as expected.
